The former mayoral candidate is seeking the court’s permission to institute new proceedings after he was ordered to pay the township $30,000 in legal fees.
Superior Court Justice Jaye Hooper granted the municipality’s request to declare Maynard vexatious in an April ruling, which was filed by township solicitors in 2021 in the midst of a protracted court battle.The judge’s ruling cited 23 separate proceedings that Maynard had pursued against the municipality — primarily challenges to municipal planning decisions and bylaws — through various courts and tribunals.
The judge also ordered Maynard to pay the municipality’s legal costs, which were set at $30,000 in a separate court ruling in July. According to Maynard’s application, he is seeking permission to continue two matters in divisional court and a third case in Superior Court, to initiate appeals in two civil lawsuits and is seeking an order permitting him to “quash” three municipal bylaws.Article content
“This has been a long, exasperating, and expensive road for the municipality and our residents,” Lowry said at the time. “Due judicial process and access to information are fundamental to the democratic process. This individual, who sees himself as ‘somewhat of a gatekeeper’ regarding planning decisions, has abused these processes.”
